Defence

[Scythe13]

You could always have some real fun with defence!!!

Personally, I'm planning a roof mounted site. I have a flat roof, so I want to Mylar line a little area I could hide in. The idea is to make thermal camoflauge, as well as regular visual camo. Who checks the roof? Hardly anyone will be checking me out up there.

Also, with it being concrete roofing, it'll be safe, even if there's a fire below! It'll be a fun little project to play around with.

Defense/Defence (I really don't know how it's spelt) comes in many different kinds and forms.
You have mental deterents; things that stop people wanting to try their luck. Like a "Beware of Dog" sign.
You have actual force: Weapons and the alike. Most preppers focus on this.
You have Escape: Think how a lizard sheds it's tail and runs away. That's awesome defence. But I wouldn't recommend sacrificing someone to any raiders.
You have Disguise 1: Disguise 1 is where people believe you are something you're not. Like corn snakes and immitators. If people think it's a military home, they're less likely to come in and say hi. Maybe put up a few archery targets for people to just notice. They'll be uninclided to get an arrow in the stomach.
You have Disguise 2: Disguise 2 is where you have people believe where you are is something different. That would be like smashing your own windows, charcoaling the windows and stuff to make people think it's been looted already.
You have Escape 1: Escape 1 is where you have a hidden place inside the home. Maybe an underground area, a cellar or something that you can hide in and make look like it's not there. Something like a trap door where you can pull up the carpet, then when you close it, the carpet goes back to how it was.
You have Escape 2: Escape 2 is where you have an exit route off the property. I have 3 escape 2's. Front door. Back door, then anywhere off the roof area. I love rock climbing, so would carabina a rope, on the harness, clip the end of the rope on itself, then belay myself down. It's a dodgy abseil, but better than being chopped up.
Mainly, you have Delayers: These are like thorny bushes, barbed wire or razor wire, small traps, and those kinds of things. This is simply to buy yourself time to get out of where you are. The thing is, if you end up having to resort to this kind of thing, you've reacted WAY TOO SLOWLY!!!
